Hosea 9章 ESV | 微读圣经

The Lord Will Punish Israel

1Rejoice not, O Israel!

Exult not like the peoples;

9:1 ch. 1:2for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.

9:1 ch. 2:5; Jer. 44:17You have loved a prostitute’s wages

on all threshing floors.

29:2 [ch. 2:9]Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,

and 9:2 [ch. 2:9]the new wine shall fail them.

3They shall not remain in 9:3 Jer. 2:7; 16:18; See Lev. 25:23the land of the Lord,

but 9:3 See ch. 8:13Ephraim shall return to Egypt,

and 9:3 Ezek. 4:13; Dan. 1:8they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.

49:4 [ch. 3:4] They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,

9:4 [ch. 8:13] and their sacrifices shall not please him.

It shall be like 9:4 Deut. 26:14; Ezek. 24:17mourners’ bread to them;

all who eat of it shall be defiled;

for their bread shall be for their hunger only;

9:4 [Hag. 2:13]it shall not come to the house of the Lord.

59:5 [Isa. 10:3]What will you do on the day of the appointed festival,

and on the day of the feast of the Lord?

6For behold, they are going away from destruction;

but 9:6 See ch. 8:13Egypt shall gather them;

Memphis shall bury them.

Nettles shall possess 9:6 [ch. 10:8; Isa. 2:20] their precious things of silver;

9:6 [ch. 10:8]thorns shall be in their tents.

79:7 See Isa. 10:3The days of punishment have come;

the days of recompense have come;

Israel shall know it.

9:7 Ezek. 13:3The prophet is a fool;

the man of the spirit is mad,

because of your great iniquity

and great hatred.

8The prophet is 9:8 Ezek. 3:17the watchman of Ephraim with my God;

yet 9:8 Ps. 91:3; [ch. 5:1]a fowler’s snare is on all his ways,

and hatred in the house of his God.

99:9 [ch. 5:2] They have deeply corrupted themselves

as 9:9 ch. 10:9; Judg. 19:22in the days of Gibeah:

9:9 [ch. 5:2] he will remember their iniquity;

he will punish their sins.

10Like grapes in the wilderness,

9:10 [Ps. 80:8; Isa. 5:1] I found Israel.

Like the first fruit on the fig tree

in its first season,

I saw your fathers.

But 9:10 Num. 25:3; Ps. 106:28they came to Baal-peor

and 9:10 [ch. 4:14] consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,

and 9:10 [Rom. 1:28, 29]became detestable like the thing they loved.

11Ephraim’s 9:11 ch. 10:5; [ch. 4:7] glory shall fly away like a bird—

9:11 [Isa. 26:18]no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

129:12 ch. 13:16Even if they bring up children,

I will bereave them till none is left.

9:12 ch. 7:13Woe to them

when 9:12 ch. 5:6; 1 Sam. 28:15, 16; Ezek. 10:18I depart from them!

13Ephraim, 9:13 [Ezek. 27:3] as I have seen, was like a young palm9:13 Or like Tyre planted in a meadow;

but 9:13 [See ver. 12above]Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.9:13 Hebrew to him who slaughters

14Give them, O Lord—

what will you give?

Give them 9:14 [Luke 23:29]a miscarrying womb

and dry breasts.

15Every evil of theirs is in 9:15 ch. 4:15; 12:11Gilgal;

there I began to hate them.

Because of the wickedness of their deeds

I will drive them out of my house.

I will love them no more;

all 9:15 ch. 8:4their princes are 9:15 [ch. 5:2]rebels.

16Ephraim is stricken;

9:16 [ver. 11] their root is dried up;

they shall bear no fruit.

Even 9:16 [ver. 12, 13] though they give birth,

9:16 [See ver. 12above]I will put their beloved children to death.

179:17 [ch. 8:5] My God will reject them

because they have not listened to him;

9:17 Deut. 28:64, 65they shall be wanderers among the nations.
